Bart, mass 35.7 kilograms, and Milhouse, mass 27.6 kilograms, play on the schoolyard seesaw. If Bart and Milhouse want to sit 3.3 meters apart, how far from the center of the seesaw should Bart sit? Include units in your answer.
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in the figure below. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 6m1, m1 = 0.048 kg, and h = 0.38 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision? (Assume the balls slide but do not roll. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Positive is to the right, and negative is to the left. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) v1f = m/s v2f = m/s

Comet P/1999 R1 has a perihelion of 0.0570 AU and aphelion of 4.99 AU. Using the results of the previous problem, find its speed at aphelion. (Hint: The expression is for the perihelion. Use symmetry ot rewrite the expression for aphelion.)
The velocity as a function of time for an asteroid in the asteroid belt is given byv(t)=v0e−t/t0i^+(v0t/2t0)j^,where v0 and t0 are constants.Use (ti=0) as the initial time, and (tf=1.9t0) as the final time. Hint: Doing your work algebraically first (as you always should) you will find that being given the final time this way will cut down a lot of number crunching in your calculator!The values for the constants that you will use are: v0 = 37 m/st0 = 252 s I have already found the x component of the velocity being 16.56m/s, but the next part of the question asks me to find the magnitude of the average acceleration of the asteroid. I tried taking the integral of acceleration and dividing that by the difference in tf - ti but that still isn't getting me the right answer and I jsut don't know how I'm supposed to set this problem up.
Object1 of mass 6 kg moving down at -35 degrees and 20 m/s collides and sticks to object2 of mass 8kg which was initially moving up at 50 degress and 25 m/s. What is the final velocity of the combined objects? Gravity is 9.8ms and please round to 3 decimal places.
An asteroid of mass m = 500 kg is moving through space at velocity Vmi = 3i+2j-9k(ms^-1). It collides with another asteroid of mass M=1000 kg moving with velocity and Vmi=-5i+9k(ms^-1). The two asteroids stick together. What is their velocity after the collision?

(Please include diagram or drawing) Two clay meteors, each with a mass m, collide in outer space and stick together. This collision occurs at a distance D from the center of the Earth. Following the collision, the combined meteors move towards the Earth. Before the collision: Meteor 1 has a velocity v1. Meteor 2 has a velocity v2. The velocities V1 and v2 are at right angles to each other. a) Calculate the fraction of kinetic energy lost during the collision of the two meteors. b) Determine the velocity of the stuck-together meteors just before they crash into the Earth assuming you know the mass and radius of earth. Air resistance can be neglected.
Astronomers estimate that a 2.0-km-diameter asteroid collideswith the Earth once every million years. The collision couldpose a threat to life on Earth.
